Instructions in 9 steps Thread on the glass fire-polished beads and Rocailles beads according to the instructions to create this elegant bracelet with intertwined look. And this is how it works:

Step 1

Thread 3 glass beads on 1 meter nylon thread by using the special needle.

Step 2

Thread on 2 black rocailles, then thread through the glass bead which is beneath the rocailles, finally thread again through the rocailles. Repeat this step. So the Rocailles are threaded two times for the clasp you will fix at the end.

Step 3

Thread on again 2 Rocailles at the following glass beads, like in Step 2.

Step 4

Thread back through the 3 glass beads and take up one further. Thread through the lower glass bead and back through the taken up bead.

Step 5

Thread on two further glass beads like in step 4. Create 5 further rows. Finally sew together the ends of the thread in the beads. Cut off the rests.

Step 6

Thread 80cm of the nylon thread through the left glass bead without needle. The threads at the left side and the right side should have the same length. * Thread a black rocaille on each side. Cross the thread through a black glass bead. * Repeat this step until 35 glass beads are threaded. Sew together the ends.

Step 7

Middle rope: Like step 6, however thread on two silver rocailles and cross the thread through a glass bead iridescent. Repeat this step until 35 Glass beads are threaded. Sew together the ends and cut off the rests. 3rd rope: Thread on two black rocailles and cross through a grey glass bead. Repeat this step until 35 glass beads are threaded. Sew together the ends and cut off the rests.

Step 8

Plait the row. Then thread a 1 m nylon thread through the last three glass beads. Now thread 7 rows glass beads like in step 5 but in the opposite direction. Finally thread a row with two black rocailles two times threaded, like in step 2 and 3. Sew together the ends and cut off the rests.
